A vertically oriented, sepia-toned photogravure focuses on an older man in profile, facing left. His weathered skin is etched with a furrowed brow and set mouth. He wears a leaf-like headpiece and a thick, ribbed necklace. A thin braid hangs down his chest, while a patch of light-colored fur sits behind his head. In the lower foreground, he holds a circular hide drum textured with thin leather lacing.
